Upgrade to Paul's Bridge on McCarty?

looks like you slightly changed your stud heights as well - I wonder if that also plays a factor in sustain.

I think it's just the angle of the picture. Measurements before & after are the same.

There's a very real chance that I just want to hear a difference because I paid for an upgrade. Still, I feel like it was a worthy upgrade. It was a great guitar before and now I just have more of everything.

The new bridge arrived. It's certainly shinier than the old one.

First impression is that there is definitely increased sustain. I'm not sure if anything else is much different.

This is what my ears tell me, too.

One last up date on this simple upgrade. The difference in sustain is really quite significant. I didn't notice just how much it increased until I had a chance to play a little louder. Even though the set up should be nearly identical, I must have changed something.

I’ve been on the hunt. Looking for the right era for me (ideally 2015-2020) and color combo I would like (and not fade)

Boooooom. NGD will be coming soon
I waited and waited for the right one. Finally popped up today: a blood orange McCarty with 58/15 (not LT) from 2015. So pumped!

Nice grab!
